Event-Driven Programming
 Procedural programming is executed in
procedural order.
 In event-driven programming, code is
executed upon activation of events.

5
Event Handling
 Event-handling model
 Three parts
 Event source
 GUI component with which user interacts
 Event object
 Encapsulates information about event that occurred
 Event listener
 Receives event object when notified, then responds
 Programmer must perform two tasks
 Register event listener for event source
 Implement event-handling method (event handler)

typing in a text field, or chooses a menu
item
User closes a frame (main window) WindowListener
User presses a mouse button while the MouseListener
cursor is over a component

windowClosed, windowIconified,
windowDeiconified, windowActivated,
windowDeactivated

16
Handling ItemEvent
 An instance of the ItemEvent class is passed to the ItemListener
whenever the item selected in a list control (such as a list box or
combo box) is changed. You can use this object to determine
information about the event such as which item the user selected.

Field Description

This value is returned by the get

static int DESELECTED StateChange method when an item in the list is
deselected.
This value is returned by the get
static int SELECTED StateChange method when an item in the list is
selected.
Method Description

Returns the item that was selected or

object getItem()
deselected

object getSource() Returns the object on which the event occurred

Returns either SELECTED or DESELECTED to

int getStateChange() indicate whether the item was selected or
deselected

17
ItemListener
 This interface deals with the Item events.
 The Java ItemListener is notified whenever you click on
the checkbox,radiobutton
 Following are the event handling methods available in
the ItemListener interface:
public void itemStateChanged(ItemEvent e)

18
Example ItemEvent
import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;

public class EventDemo extends JFrame implements ItemListener{

JCheckBox cb[];
JPanel cb_panel;
JTextArea tarea;
EventDemo(){
cb_panel= new JPanel();
cb_panel.setLayout(new BoxLayout(cb_panel,BoxLayout.Y_AXIS));
String ch_arr[]={"Onion","Tomato","Capsium","lattice"};
cb=new JCheckBox[4];
for (int i = 0; i < cb.length; i++) {
cb[i]=new JCheckBox(ch_arr[i]);
cb[i].addItemListener(this);
//cb[i].addActionListener(this);
cb_panel.add(cb[i]);
}
tarea=new JTextArea(5,30);
JScrollPane jsp=new JScrollPane(tarea);
JPanel p=new JPanel();
p.add(jsp);

19
this.setLayout(new FlowLayout()); this.getContentPane().setBackground(new
Color(233,210,100));
setLocationRelativeTo(null); this.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
this.setSize(500, 500); this.add(this.cb_panel);
this.add(p); this.setVisible(true); }
public void itemStateChanged(ItemEvent ie) {
if(ie.getSource().getClass().getName().equals("javax.swing.JCheckBox")){
JCheckBox cb_temp = (JCheckBox) ie.getSource();
String item=cb_temp.getText() ;
if(ie.getSource().equals(cb[0])){
if (ie.getStateChange() == ItemEvent.SELECTED) {
item +=" is selected";
this.getContentPane().setBackground(Color.yellow);
} else if (ie.getStateChange() == ItemEvent.DESELECTED) {
this.getContentPane().setBackground(Color.CYAN);
item +=" is Deselected";
} } System.out.println(""+item);
tarea.append(item+"\n");
} } public static void main(String[] args) {
EventDemo o=new EventDemo();
}}
20
Handling Mouse Events
 Java provides two listener interfaces,
MouseListener and MouseMotionListener, to
handle mouse events.
 The MouseListener listens for actions such as when
the mouse is pressed, released, entered, exited, or
clicked.
 The MouseMotionListener listens for
actions such as dragging or moving the
mouse.

21
 There are five types of events that MouseListener can generate. There are
five abstract functions that represent these five events. The abstract
functions are :
void mouseReleased(MouseEvent e) : Mouse key is released
void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e) : Mouse key is pressed/released
void mouseExited(MouseEvent e) : Mouse exited the component
void mouseEntered(MouseEvent e) : Mouse entered the component
void mousepressed(MouseEvent e) : Mouse key is pressed
 There are two types of events that MouseMotionListener can generate.
There are two abstract functions that represent these five events. The
abstract functions are :
void mouseDragged(MouseEvent e) : Invoked when a mouse button is pressed in the
component and dragged. Events are passed until the user releases the mouse button.
void mouseMoved(MouseEvent e) : invoked when the mouse cursor is moved from one point to

another within the component, without pressing any mouse buttons .

22
Method Description
Returns the absolute x, y position of
public Point getLocationOnScreen()
the MouseEvent.
Returns the x-coordinate of
public int getX() the MouseEvent.

Returns the y-coordinate of

public int getY() the MouseEvent.

23
Example
public class EventDemo extends JFrame implements MouseMotionListener,
MouseListener{
JLabel status;
EventDemo(){
status=new Jlabel();
this.setLayout(new FlowLayout());
this.getContentPane().setBackground(new Color(233,210,100));
setLocationRelativeTo(null);
this.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
this.setSize(500, 500); this.add(status);
this.addMouseMotionListener(this);
this.addMouseListener(this);
this.setVisible(true);
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
EventDemo o=new EventDemo();
}
24
//Mouse Motion Events
@Override
public void mouseDragged(MouseEvent me) {
}
@Override
public void mouseMoved(MouseEvent me) {
int xValue = me.getX();
int yValue = me.getY();
status.setText(String.valueOf("X
value="+xValue+"yValue="+yValue));
repaint();
}

25
@Override
getButton()Determi
public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent me) { nes which button
status.setText("MouseClicked"); was pressed, right
or left
int button = me.getButton();
System.out.println(button);
Getmodifier()States
String modifiers = whether the Ctrl, Alt
me.getMouseModifiersText(me.getModifiers()); or Shift buttons
were pressed
System.out.println(modifiers); }
@Override
public void mousePressed(MouseEvent me) {
status.setText("Mouse Pressed"); }
@Override
public void mouseReleased(MouseEvent me) {
status.setText("Mouse released"); }
@Override
public void mouseEntered(MouseEvent me) {
status.setText("Mouse Entered"); }
@Override
public void mouseExited(MouseEvent me) {
status.setText("Mouse Exited"); }}

26
After a left click then
right click on a number
output is:
1
Button1
3
Meta+Button3
After left click then
right click on a number
with ctrl down output is:
1
Ctrl+Button1
3
Meta+Ctrl+Button3

27
Handling Keyboard Events
To process a keyboard event, use the following
handlers in the KeyListener interface:
 keyPressed(KeyEvent e)
Called when a key is pressed.
 keyReleased(KeyEvent e)
Called when a key is released.
 keyTyped(KeyEvent e)
Called when a key is pressed and then
released.invoked when a Unicode character is
entered. If the key dosen’t has one (eg modifier key),
the keyTyped handler will not be invoked.
28
The KeyEvent Class
 Methods:
getKeyChar() method Returns the character associated with the key
in this event. For example, the KEY_TYPED event for shift + "a" returns the
value for "A"

getKeyCode() method Returns the integer keyCode associated with

the key in this event. Returns: the integer code for an actual key on the
keyboard

 Keys:
Home VK_HOME
End VK_End
Page Up VK_PGUP
Page Down VK_PGDN
etc...
29
 There are many other integer constants that are defined by
KeyEvent.
 For example
 VK_0 to VK_9
 VK_A to VK_Z define the ASCII equivalents of the numbers and
letters.
 Here are some others:
 VK_ENTER, VK_ESCAPE, VK_CANCEL, VK_UP, VK_DOWN,
VK_LEFT, VK_RIGHT, VK_PAGE_DOWN,VK_PAGE_UP,
VK_SHIFT, VK_ALT, VK_CONTROL
 The VK constants specify virtual key codes and are independent of
any modifiers, such as control, shift, or alt.

30
The KeyEvent Class, cont.

java.awt.event.InputEvent

java.awt.event.KeyEvent
+getKeyChar(): char Returns the character associated with the key in this event.
+getKeyCode(): int Returns the integer keyCode associated with the key in this event.

31
Example
public class EventDemo extends JFrame implements
KeyListener {
JLabel status; JTextField txt_name;
EventDemo(){
status=new JLabel();
// text field
txt_name=new JTextField(10);
txt_name.setEnabled(true);
txt_name.addKeyListener(this);
this.add(status);
this.add(txt_name);
this.setVisible(true);

32
@Override
public void keyTyped(KeyEvent ke) {
}
public void keyPressed(KeyEvent ke) {
}
@Override
public void keyReleased(KeyEvent ke) {
String charString,keyCodeString,modString;
char c=ke.getKeyChar();
int keyCode=ke.getKeyCode();
int modifiers=ke.getModifiers();
charString="Key character='"+c+“’”;
keyCodeString="key code="+keyCode+"("+KeyEvent.getKeyText(keyCo
modString="modifiers="+modifiers;
status.setText("Key released"+charString+keyCodeString+modString);
}}
